It's not. It's a marketing site to encourage you to apply for cards.

You're welcome. I'll edit my response to say one good thing about them. From time to time they will show bonus offers for new cards, especially American Express that are far above the standard offer. If you apply they those links and are approved, they can be valuable. Just keep in mind that the 'match' is meaningless and in no way is some sort of preapproval.

I did not know that. that would explain why I was declined for a link I used.

I will never use card match again. A few years ago it matched me to a 75k Amex PRG offer. I applied through the portal and never got the bonus. I fought with Amex about it but in the end they wouldn't budge saying they honor those offers at their own discretion.
